Golf is a dangerous sport

[Grizz]

I played in a golf scramble last Monday and did something funky to my hand... specifically my right index finger.

Been in pain all week and finally went and to the doctor. Turns out I tore the tendon's and bone chipped an area of the joint. Now I may or may not need to see a hand surgeon, depends on how it heals.

The good news is that I can still turn, I like holding the handle in my right hand, so the guide is still in the uninjured left.

Check out the new fancy splints:

Sounds like you may have hit the ball just a "little" fat. I've been playing for 40 years and never have had an injury like that. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope that heals soon. Did the groundhog from Caddyshack get hold of your finger?? :biggrin:

Sounds like what I did a week ago. Went out for the first time in three years and hit an honest 112 for 18 holes. I'm actually pretty happy with that considering I played the last 6 holes with a twisted wrist from digging in with the toe of the club on one fairway shot. I don't think I broke or tore anything cause mine is feeling better already. Hope all turns out well, and I seriously agree that there is more to golf than most people realize, including injuries.
